Report About Lack of the Adequate Housing in Papua Province and West Papua Province in Indonesia REPORT ABOUT LACK OF THE ADEQUATE HOUSING IN PAPUA PROVINCE AND WEST PAPUA PROVINCE IN INDONESIA. PREPARED BY RONALD WAROMI CHAIRMAN OF WEST PAPUA INTEREST ASSOCIATION. SUBMIT TO UN SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON THE RIGHTS OF ADEQUATE HOUSING. JAYAPURA-WEST PAPUA, 30 MAY 2019 REPORT OF WEST PAPUA REFUGEES LIFE AFTER RETURN HOME WITHOUT PROPER HOUSING. West Papua refugees in Papua New Guinea (PNG) because of political conflicts in West Papua, and with various approaches the Indonesian Government invited West Papua refugees to return back to Papua-Indonesia. Before repatriation, the Indonesia Government Officer from the Embassy in Papua New Guinea convey it that the Government of Indonesia will provide housing for West Papuan refugees if they returned to Papua Indonesia. The Voluntary repatriation of West Papua refugees was sponsored and supervision by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and under the cooperation of the Government of Indonesia and the Government of Papua New Guinea. But after returning to Papua Province since year 2000, the Indonesian Government did not provide housing as conveyed to the representatives of Papua refugees while still in PNG during a meeting attended by the PNG Government, UNHCR, the Indonesian Government, the Catholic Church and Papua refugees Representatives. After being in Papua Province since year 2000, the Indonesian Government handed over the refugees families to their respective families who settled in Papua. At that time the Government of Indonesia and the Government of Papua Province no longer paid attention to refugees in terms of Housing. As a result, a problem arises between the Papua refugees family and the family who own the house. Family members are expelled and move from house to house and from place to place, some begin getting sick because they do not have a proper home for rest. The refugees family have to move around and there was a divorce in the family. There are family members who getting sick until died. Children who have dropped out of school, start falling into the world of drugs, smoking drugs, selling drugs, arrested by police and go to jail. The slow genocide are taking place and still ongoing which design by Indonesia government. Other West Papua refugees family return back to Papua New Guinea, because no house provided by the Indonesia government for the refugees family. This all started from lack of attention and there was no serious attention from the Indonesian Government in terms of housing and providing business capital assistance for the refugees family. In the year 2015 the former West Papua refugees communicated with the Papuan People's Assembly (Majelis Rakyat Papua /MRP), the Government Institution of Cultural of Papua Indigenous peoples so that they can help lobbying the Indonesia Central Government, namely the Ministry of Public Works and Housing in Jakarta. There were several socialization sessions facilitated by the Papuan People's Assembly (Majelis Rakyat Papua / MRP) between the MRP and Religious Leaders, traditional leaders and the refugees. All the amount of location, data for the construction of houses has been made and reported to the MRP and has continued to the Ministry of Public Works in Jakarta. However, until now there has been no realization for Housing Development and for many years refugees family have only been waiting without an answer from the Indonesian Government in this case the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing through the MRP to refugees. THEREFORE IN THIS OPPORTNITY, WEST PAPUA REFUGEES REQUESTING TO UN SPECIAL RAPPORTEURS ON ADEQUATE HOUSING TO SEND STRONG RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT, WHY THERE ARE NO HOUSING FOR THE WEST PAPUA REUGEES OF YEAR 2000 THAT THEIR ASPIRATION THROUGH PAPUAN PEOPLE'S ASSEMBLY (MAJELIS RAKYAT PAPUA / MRP) IN PAPUA. ONCE AGAIN, SPECIAL RAPPORTEURS PLEASE PUT THIS POINT IN RECOMMENDING TO UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY OR MAKING COMMUNICATION TO THE INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT ASKING ABOUT HOUSING PROGRAMME FOR THE PAPUAN REFUGEES OF THE YEAR 2000 FROM PAPUA NEW GUINEA REFUGEES CAMP. INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DID NOT HAVE ADEQUATE HOUSING. Indigenous Peoples of West Papua most of them did not have a decent house, they had difficulty obtaining Government assistance. Indigenous Peoples of West Papua who live underlining of poverty, their homes are very inadequate and unhealthy, some home building materials are damaged, zinc is rusty, leaky and there is no good sanitation. They lack of the government's attention, continue to experience discrimination in government assistance. Especially in the city of Jayapura, there are still many people whose homes are not feasible, but the Government is turning a blind eye to this situation. In urban areas such as Jayapura city, homes of indigenous people are very inappropriate, there is no attention from the Government to help improve their homes. And living in one house there can be several heads of family. Indigenous Peoples of West Papua in the villages have difficulty in having a decent home, the District Government in Papua does not provide housing assistance to the community, even though the Central Government has programmed a large budget, but there are a number of District Heads and Village Heads who use empowerment funds for the village community like in the Langda District of Yahukimo Regency in Papua Province. According to the report of Yoram Balyo the Communities leader from Langda District, the Yahukimo Government did not pay attention in providing adequate house for the Langda communities in Yahukimo Regency, Papua. In Jayawijaya Regency, Tolikara Regency Bogonuk District, Pegunungan Bintang Regency and other Regency in Papua Province which the indigenous West Papua difficulty in having a decent home. RECOMMENDATION: 1.THE GOVERNMENT OF INDONESIA AND THE DISTRICT GOVERNMENT IN PAPUA PROVINCE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION IN PROVIDING ADEQUATE HOUSING FOR INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES. 2.THE GOVERNMENT IN PAPUA PROVINCE MUST REGISTER WHICH HOUSES ARE DAMAGED, HOW MUCH A NUMBER OF FAMILY IN ONE HOUSE, AND MUST TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE BROKEN HOUSE OF THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES. BUSINESS HOUSE DEVELOPER In Papua Province-Indonesia there are construction of credit houses by the Bank and Business House Developers, the conditions and fees for deposits are too expensive for people with limited economic income. So for entrepreneurs who have a lot of money and employees who can get the house. But for economically weak communities and not employees it is very difficult to have a decent house or a healthy home. The business developers build credit houses and they are only looking for profit but does not consider the safety and environmental aspects when floods season. The developers are only looking for big profits by buying cheap blocks of land at the locations that often flood and landslides. Examples of cases that occurred in the city of Jayapura where in the Padang Bulan area have often flood, most of the residents' houses were flooded when it rained. In other cases, many residents in Sentani have been hit by flash floods, where houses of people entered water, rocks, land and wood due to landslides from Cyclops mountain in Sentani, Jayapura Regency on March 2019. Developers and Banks built credit houses on waterways and on the outskirts of the river, so that when the coming of floods the impact was many peoples died and lost of property. RECOMMENDATION: 1.It is recommended that credit requirements need to be facilitated and Deposit Fees reduced so that the community can also get access to a decent house and a healthy home. 2.Developers build housing at the location that is free of flooding, landslides and does not endanger human lives. Source of Information: As the eye witness of the situation in Papua and West Papua Province in Indonesia to the condition of West Papua refugees, as refugee family facing this situation, and witness the condition of indigenous peoples and development on the ground ------------------- .

Smuggling Cultures in the Indonesia-Singapore Borderlands Michele Ford and Lenore Lyons The smuggling will never stop. As long as seawater is still seawater and as long as the sea still has water in it, smuggling will continue in the Riau Islands. Tengku Umar, owner of an import-export business Borders are lucrative zones of exchange and trade, much of it clandestine. Smuggling, by definition, 'depends on the presence of a border, and on what the state declares can be legally imported or exported' (Donnan & Wilson 1999: 101), and while free trade zones and growth triangles welcome the free movement of goods and services, border regions can also become heightened areas of state control that provide an environment in which smuggling thrives. Donnan and Wilson (1999: 88) argue that acts of smuggling are a form of subversion or resistance to the existence of the border, and therefore the state. However, there is not always a conflict of interest and struggle between state authorities and smugglers (Megoran, Raballand, & Bouyjou 2005). Synergies between the formal and informal economies ensure that illegal cross-border trade does not operate independently of systems of formal regulatory authority.

  • Humiliation and Education in a Dani Modernity
    Dreams Made Small: Humiliation and Education in a Dani Modernity Jenny Munro A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The Australian National University December 2009 **This electronic version has been edited to reduce digital size and is not the same as the printed version or the full electronic version with images** This thesis is the original work of the author except where otherwise acknowledged. Jenny Munro Department of Anthropology Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies The Australian National University i Abstract Indigenous youth from the Baliem Valley area of Papua, Indonesia aspire to be part of ‘progress’ ( kemajuan ) in their isolated region but are constrained by colonial conditions that favour migrant Indonesians. In this thesis, indigenous Dani students leave the tense social and political setting of highlands Papua in order, they say, to broaden their horizons in North Sulawesi, a relatively prosperous, peaceful province four days west of Papua by passenger ship. Based on 16 months of fieldwork conducted in 2005-2006 and 2009, this thesis explores Dani efforts to gain university degrees and obtain ‘modern’ skills and capabilities in a tangled web of racial stigma, prejudice, institutionalized corruption, and intense relationships with other Papuan highlanders. It follows Dani graduates back to the Baliem Valley to see what results they create from a university degree. This exploration of the personal histories and life chances of stigmatized individuals sheds light on Papuan nationalism, the everyday production and negotiation of racial hierarchies, and how affect, in this case humiliation, fuels the formation of a particular vision of identity and the future.

  • Selection of LNG Receiving Ports
    Chapter 4 Selection of LNG Receiving Ports January 2021 This chapter should be cited as ERIA (2021), ‘Selection of LNG Receiving Ports’, in Kimura, S., et al. (eds.), Feasible Solutions to Deliver LNG to Midsized and Large Islands in Indonesia. ERIA Research Project Report FY2020 no.18, Jakarta: ERIA, pp.22-30. Chapter 4 Selection of LNG Receiving Ports In this chapter, we proposed the locations of LNG receiving ports by using a methodology that considers several factors. First, we looked at the forecasted LNG demand in Eastern Indonesia as estimated in chapter 3. Second, in each region we gathered all seaports that are geographically close to the existing or planned-to-be-developed natural gas–fired or dual- engine power plants. Third, we gathered information on the profile of those seaports. Finally, considering the specifications of the model LNG carrier vessels, we selected several seaports as LNG receiving ports based on the accessibility of those seaports. In section 4.1, we presented the initial candidates for LNG receiving terminals (ports) based on the location of the existing seaports, the forecasted LNG demand and the existing and planned GPPs. In section 4.2, we selected LNG carrier vessels and presented their characteristics. Finally, in section 4.3, we presented the selected receiving ports based on their accessibility for the model ships. 1. Regions and the Potential LNG Receiving Ports Chapter 3 identified 21 regions that include cities and small islands where potential LNG demand for power generation would likely be generated in the future, i.e. in the 2040 horizon.

The Papuan fauna of Synchonnus Waterhouse, 1879 contains only four species distributed in Mysool, Japen, and New Guinea and is less diversifi ed than those of the continental Australia where 16 species have been recorded. Synchon- nus occurs in lowlands and in lower mountain forests. A new species, Synchonnus etheringtoni sp. nov., is described from New Guinea, and S. testaceithorax Pic, 1923 is redescribed. All Papuan species are keyed. Key words. Coleoptera, Lycidae, Synchonnus, taxonomy, new species, morpho- logy, key, New Guinea Introduction Papuan net-winged beetles are represented mostly by the subtribe Metriorrhynchina (Ly- cidae: Metriorrhynchini), and only a few other net-winged beetle tribes and subfamilies have been recorded in New Guinea and the adjacent islands (BOCAK & BOCAKOVA 2008; SKLENAROVA et al. 2013). Although the fi rst Papuan species were described already at the beginning of the 19th century by GUÉRIN-MÉNEVILLE (1830–1838) and further about two hundred species before the second world war (KLEINE 1926), the diversity of the Papuan net-winged beetle fauna has not been systematically studied except for a few genus restricted reviews (e.g., BOCAKOVA 1992, BOCEK & BOCAK 2016).
